    Moved Again, new HT Deco style

    Unfortunately, I did not make those. They were on Ebay for a group of 4 randomly chosen 16mm reels. They were $5.00 plus $5.00 shipping. I used one of them that looked like an audio reel as part of a weird sculpture I made below my clock. I repainted them in the same colors and then used a screw...

    Moved Again, new HT Deco style

    I kind of like it, so yeah - of course. I was actually thinking of getting a small blu-ray decal to go next to the firestone logo as well... Even the helmet... Fiberglass, bondo, welding shield, plywood, plastic putty, paint, car trim, rivets. And a custom plush fabric liner...

    Moved Again, new HT Deco style

    I loved the architecture in bioshock. Part of it was inspiration for the center media rack. And thanks. 100% home-made.

    Moved Again, new HT Deco style

    I have not been on this forum in a while. I have two kids now, and that may be why... Anyway. We moved into a bigger appartment with a nicer living room, which is now taken up by my HT setup... again. IT's still cheap, but I like it. Here's what I have: -Custom made HTPC/ 16gigs ram/ AMD...

    Testing out Netflix

    Your video card will hinder the speed of the HD turning on as well for Netflix. We ditched cable in favor of a $7.00 Hulu Plus and $7.00 Netflix subscription. So we can still watch pretty much every new show and full seasons of the old stuff on Netflix. Hulu only gives you 720 if you pay the fee...

    Just ordered a Roku

    I got the Sony version. I like it because it navigates like the PS3 menu exactly, so my wife can use it easily. I have it attached below our 37" flat panel in the bedroom. Looks symbiotic with the TV. I like it. IT's a very nice solution if you don't want to run cable to every tv in the house.

    Favi Screens

    I got a 120" Favi, before i bought a 120" elite screen (it's possible they come from the same place, but I have no idea) The Favi cost me $120 on sale with free shipping off amazon. It came in a box a little larger than the screen itself. I installed it on the wall and pulled the screen down...

    Need new laptop for deployment

    Just don't get an alienware laptop. I had two: A M15x and a m17x. Both made from the same cheap plastic. The hinges would snap off on both because they were made of superglue and drywall anchors or something. Two of the keys randomly stopped working one, and the other, the casing started to fall...

    George Lucas is delusional. Or a liar.

    It's pretty bad, like shut the movie off without actually finishing it bad. I jsut really wanted like maybe some of the 1997 re-release stuff on blu-ray, not an entirely reworked thing. I also heard complaints of random coloring corrections that decreased the atmosphere a little. I had to go...

    Modernizing an old 1940's Radio

    Then cut a hole where the speaker was originally, and put some of the tubes on a wood block behind it, and set blue led's behind them: I thought it looked interesting. Ignore the warped trim, I fixed that right after... BOught some ABS from a warehouse in town and made a frame for the...

    Modernizing an old 1940's Radio

    Funny I stumbled across this thread...But I modernized a bakelite radio set (2 radios) to play music off my phone via pandora. It cost me a whopping total of $50.00 (including the radios, paint, etc...) Mine is super simple and I just disassembled some computer speakers w/sub for it. Started...

    George Lucas is delusional. Or a liar.

    I think the new "NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!" is bad enough already... I didn't know Lucas was still forcing this issue. I regret buying the 6 movie Bluray set, but not until I watched it. What a mess.

    Moved again. New HT

    Hey guys, haven't been on in a while. Had a kid, forgot about internet forums, etc... BUT! I did move all the way from Puget Sound WA, back to the Bay Area in CA. I basically fire-saled all my stuff and moved (because I owed some shady people money). Not really, we just really felt depressed...

    Got a duplex

    It was quite an interesting relationship. We almost never cooked dinner. They would do it usually and come over and hang out, play rock band, watch movies, etc...

    Got a duplex

    Sorry to have not been on in so long. Actually, we moved again to Sunny California. Our landlord did enjoy the work we did. He actually gave us our security deposit back plus $2000 when we moved out which I used to pay off our car. I did a few other things while we were there. There was a wall...

    Moving out West?

    The taxes are actually quite reasonable. There was a bar that was for sale for $45,000 with all updated equipment, tables, games, etc... and I was researching taxes and such. It really depends on if you have a building, and where it's located, or if you are running the business out of your...

    Moving out West?

    Don't know who told you bout washington, but I live here, and there is stuff being taken from my paycheck. It's not called "taxes" they're just called the "firefighter's fund" or "school fund" but it's nothing like taxes at all.;)

    15 year olds system

    I had a nintendo on my system as well, later I found a 3DO at a yards sale with Wolfenstein 3d in like 1995. That was a great find, because two years previous, they were the pirce of the PS3 when it was launched ($699)and A tank game. It was crazy (un)cool. later I tried to sell it to a video...

    15 year olds system

    I'm going to go ahead and say nice system for being 15. When I was 15 I only got stuff from garage sales. I used a 13" CRT computer monitor as a TV, and then upgraded to a TV with knobs. YES KNOBS. They clicked and had 13 channel selections. It was an upgrade, and this was in the 90's. That's...
